I’d have never thought of that.

That might work if you consumed it all while very young. Otherwise, the starch would almost guarantee bacterial contamination.

huh? I said to the boil. As in, you boil the flour. How would contamination occur?

Yeah, that’s getting pretty fancy for homebrew though ;) I know a food scientist that works for Ajinomoto and was telling me about their marketing of various tannins to brewers (I’m assuming that’s what you’re talking about?). Pretty fascinating stuff.

Increase the likelihood of? Caleb- feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t starch a very accessible food for bacteria, especially lacto?

Why wouldn’t it be fermented just like all the rest of the *starches* being boiled in the kettle?

Those are no longer starches. They have been converted to fermentable sugar. If your mash did not fully convert the starch to sugar, it would carry through into the fermentation the same way, and sach yeast cannot consume starch.

Yeah, when I googled that to see what it was, this thread popped up. I figured that was a sign that I was in over my head.

Yeah, no idea on that one. Is it something that homebrewers could purchase? I am curious about it now.
